phpBB 3.0 module is now 'silver'

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I cleaned up a bit and rewrote parts of the instructions based on your feedback, everything should now be at http://drupal.i1media.no. It has been brought to my attention that the module doesn't work with PHP 4.x anymore. I don't have PHP 4.x, but I suspect it only breaks on less than 10 lines. Please submit a patch if you can. The only change in the latest version is the .htaccess file, I had not realized that phpBB 3.x now comes with its own. Thanks to Devis for pointing this out.

We done thanks to your module.
Bridge a new Drupal site with an existing Phpbb3 forum.
But do us a favor , enable on your demo site the access to the user profile for logged in users at list.
It was a stop for us , before figuring out that it was only Drupal permission setting.

all greek to you

Is there an deafult limit to forum post?
It seems than long titles are cut off from your blok of forum topics.
Instead we use the rss feed from the phpbb3 for that at the present.

Thank you again for your job!

panas, please read the foreword: http://drupal.i1media.no/drupal+phpbb/foreword , there's not synchronization if you allow users to edit their Drupal profiles.

Regarding the length of the text, look for block0_char_count in the configuration file. It won't use that directly, but it'll look for a space after that number of characters and cut there.

Access user profiles permission

In the Access control the user module we have the following fields,

access user profiles
administer access control
administer users
change own username

If we have enabled the first option the user or guest access to phpbb3 profile from the user name or their account in drupal.
Right?
That is what i want.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about 'edit drupal users' in the phpbb section. I wasn't aware that the other one isn't enabled by default.

Thank you for clarifying, I'll add it to the docs.

Hello arkepp, to start thx for the great support of the module :),but i'm having a little problem(again)..,the avatars ar not sync..
the avars ar getting stored in the database and in the right folders but there is a "/" missing ..

it has to be like this:
forum/shared/avatars/455c2a10dc037e190c70f43f7e7a93f2_1098.jpg

but for some reason its getting stored likt this:
forum/shared/avatars455c2a10dc037e190c70f43f7e7a93f2_1098.jpg

lik you see the last "/" is gone

I had the same problem.. and it was resolved by modifying functions_drupal.php

from:
$drupal_avatar_path = 'forum/' . $config['avatar_path'];

to:
$drupal_avatar_path = 'forum/' . $config['avatar_path'] . '/';

saw this in another post while searching for the problem.. can't take the credit :P
